I am also researching the Shelp line. Do you have church records for the marriage of Nancy Shelp to Charles Roberts? I think they would have married between 1845-1855. I think her father was a Nathaniel Shelp born in 1793. According to census records both shelps where bornin New York. I did not see a Charlotte Shelp living with Nathaniel Shelp, Christian Shelp or Henry Shelp in the 1870 census. Their may be more Shelps in the census though. This is the information I have about the Shelps who came to Sussquehanna county. This is from Commemorative Biographical Record of Northeastern Pennsylvania under a listing from Christopher C. Shelp: Christopher C. Shelp is a worthy representative of one of the most honored and highly esteemed old families of Susquehanna county. Pn the paternal sid e hsis of German origin, his great-grandfather, Christian Shelp, being a native of Germany who on coming to America at an early day took up his residence in Montgomery county, N.Y. He had three sons: Henry, Frederick and Christinan. The last named was gradnfather of our subject. He was born in Montgomery county, N.Y., and came to Susquehanna, PA in 1812 locating upon the farm where he now resides... He died in June 1825, aged sixty-five years, and his wife, who bore the maiden name of Jane Freeman, died February, 1841 aged 80 years, both being laid to rest in Fairhill cemetary. Their children were as follows: John married Abby WAlbridge;Nathaniel married Margaret Pettinggale; Christian was the father of our subject; Henry married Betsy Main; Stephen died unmarried; Elizabeth married Charles Davis; Sally married Proctor Risely; Jane married Andrew V. STout; Nancy married Henry Walbridge; and Catherine married Ezekiel Maine. All are now deceased. That is only part of the listing. A lot of the Shelp family moved to Susuqhanna county. My ancestor is Nathaniel Shelp. I know that Christian Shelp moved to Jessup township. I hope that helps you.
